The problems with the satellite connection and access was solved by unplugging the ethernet cables from the back of the satellites. That made the wireless connection between the RBR and the 2 RBS's unstable. The automatic updates through the web (or iOS app) did not detect the availability of the "new" firmware 8 moths after the release of the firmware.
That said, folks should bring the satellites one at a time into the same room as the RBR, reset the satellites and manually update the firmware using the downloaded .IMG files.
